3. Print on glossy photo paper. Glossy photo paper is tough. It was my solution to not having a laminator and they have held up well so far.

4. Cut around the shapes. Try not to cut out too much detail–smaller sections can be torn easier. But unless you have an unusually long hole punch, you’ll have to cut fairly close to the image.

5. Punch holes.

6. Use a fine Sharpie to draw straight lines between holes.

7. Tape one end of yarn on the back and wrap the loose end with tape to prevent fraying and it makes lacing easier for little fingers.

Easy-peasy.

I just started working as an Activity Assistant for residents with dementia. I wanted a simple sewing project and came across the lacing card idea. Many of the designs seemed to be geared toward children. I was just about to buy a set when I found your site. I love your “use your own image” alternative. This will allow me to create some interesting cards suitable for adults. Thank you so much!
